2015’s Comic Book Movies Ranked

With Fantastic 4 hitting theatres,we now have to wait a gruelling 7 months until another comic book movie hit theatres.The future of super hero films is both promising and enormous,so it’s hard to believe only 4 comic movies were released in 2015

But now that they’re all here , let’s look back at,and rank,this year’s comic book movies

1. Ant-Man

Marvel’s latest origin story saw Paul Rudd charming us all into rooting for insects. Ant­Man, which may be considered a “gamble” for Marvel Studios given its silly title and premise, faced major adversities when its original director walked from the project just before production. But that didn’t matter. Despite Edgar Wright’s departure and Peyton Reed’s last minute step­on, the final product was a unique, fun, and thrilling heist movie. Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang stole our hearts, while Michael Peña stole the screen. Plus, it didn’t hurt to have a couple of Avengers cameos, a Spider­Man reference, and proper homage to Hank Pym as the first AntMan

2. Avengers:Age Of Ultron

The Avengers’ assembly wasn’t quite as magical as the first tone in 2012, but that can’t be held against a project that was excellent in its own right. The science bros of Stark and Banner almost triggered a robotic apocalypse in Avengers: Age ofUltron, Joss Whedon’s last Marvel film (at least for a while). We were introduced to new characters, witnessed some of Marvel’s best action sequences to date, and saw the groundwork for Marvel’s phase 3 set in a very entertaining fashion 3. Kingsman:The Secret Service

Kingsman: The Secret Service shocked audiences by making good use of its R­Rating.

Matthew Vaughn, who previously directed Mark Millar’s other comic series­turned­movies, KickAss and Wanted, went guns blazing in Kingsman with unique action, well­written comedy, and an extremely talented cast. Not only did it feature a ridiculous yet somehow compelling story, but Kingsman packed a whole lot of unforgettable sequences which other movies would have shied away from.

4. Fantastic Four

If we were ranking the most questionable comic book movies of 2015, Fantastic Four would be at top of the list.although,ant-man was a pretty gamble too(just one that actually worked).Fantastic Four tried to radically differentiate from Marvel’sfirst family from their other big screen appearance, but it didn’t quite pay off the way director Joss Trank had imagined. the extended origin story only featured a small bit of action in its 100 min run time and was universally panned by critics. Don’t be surprised if Fantastic Four 2 quietly slips off of 2017’s movie release schedule.

2016

The future is extremely bright. With 30 confirmed super hero films coming between now and 2020, it’s a great time to be a geek.

It will be a long seven months until Deadpool gives us a our comic book movie fix, but let’s run down what’s coming in 2016:
